Maven banner?
What happened to the banner when executing Maven? I'm glad its not
there by default, but I'd like to turn it on for remote builds so
that my logs capture what version of Maven was used.
Maybe a '--banner' flag or something? Or maybe a new goal on the
help plugin, to show maven version, and some settings like os and
java version fluff?

The banner is useful in debugging.
Especially the versions of non-project dependencies ( maven / wagon /
plugins )
Having a banner would address some of that.
Having an 'opt-out' of the banner would also be useful (ala the
<interactiveMode> <offline> and <usePluginRegistry> type settings in the
$HOME/.m2/settings.xml)
I agree with Jason about the level of noise. The logging has to be
addressed first.

Yes we get enough junk in the logs, please don't put that in. If you
don't know you're running maven when you type mvn, then there's no hope
for you. If you want to know the version from logs, then it should be
simple to just output a simple version line (1 line!!!) in the
execution.

I think the logging needs to be overhauled first so that it can be
turned off easily and changed from the embedder. Toning down all the
noise might be a good idea too before we subject people color. If the
color is used effectively I think it could be a nice addition though.
I do think we need to ramp down the noise first.

I must admit I was very tempted to put that back in.
Perhaps not exactly the same logo, make a change in the 2.1 tree :)
I wondered also if I could tie it to some colour logging work I have
up my sleeve so we could colour the "a" of Maven
like the official logo.
Any objections?
